Color your own Tarot Cards

Why (not) color your own tarot cards? Certainly, there are literally hundreds of decks available, already in full color- why go through the trouble?

Simply put, it is by far the most effective way to become familiar with the complex symbolism of the Tarot deck.

Carefully coloring your own cards will allow you to see every detail, helping to develop the intuitive insight that is neccessary to fully realize the potential of you cards. The deck you create will be unique, unlike anyone else's- it will have your personal stamp on it.

This feature includes all instructions for printing and coloring your own set of Tarot cards, including two sets of black and white card graphics. Choose between the 1910 Coleman-Waite or the beautiful Vacchetta deck of 1893. Both decks have been updated and modified for easier coloring.


Copy the pictures on the following pages to your hard drive. Open in any graphic editing program or even Word. Pictures look very large, but print standard tarot card size. If printing from windows, the margins may need to be adjusted so the pictures will fit the page. I suggest printing a test page to spot any potential problems before beginning. If you plan to use paint or markers, test your paper for compatibility before you print. Note: Printing directly from your browser may have unattractive results!

When the printing is finished, use sharp scissors or a paper cutter to carefully trim the cards. If you prefer a rounded edge, use the corner cutter, making sure to leave a border around the card to prevent lopping part of the picture of with the cutter. If you'd like a paper backing on your cards, use spray adhesive to apply decorative paper (use a sturdy or coated paper for this task) to the back of each card, and trim to fit. Alternatively, you can decorate the backs with rubber stamps.
